"I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you're having a stroke, and for a shirt three-week period, I started to think, 'I may have to do something drastic about this'...but I never thought I'd get there," he continues. "See, I was in a place where I was trying to figure out how to survive."

He's since had surgery to help him with the spinal problems, but Clooney says he still gets headaches connected to the accident.
